The Public Works Authority (Ashghal) has partially opened Nuaija Intersection (The Mall) on D-Ring Road to traffic in all directions after developing and expanding the junction and streamlining access to neighbouring areas including Najma, Al Hilal, Nuaija and Old Airport. The opening has been implemented in co-ordination with the General Directorate of Traffic.
According to an official statement, commuters from Najma Street can reach D-Ring Road in the north direction or towards Airport Street can continue ahead toward Najma or Nuaija or take a U turn. Commuters coming from D-Ring Road can turn towards Najma Street can continue ahead to Old Airport or towards north or turn back.
Engineer Abdulla Darwish from the Highway Projects Department said that the opening of Nuaija Intersection would streamline traffic movement for those coming to and from Najma, Al Hilal, Nuaija and Old Airport via D-Ring Road on one side and Najma Street on the other side.
The D-Ring Road development works are completed up to 50% and the project is scheduled to be delivered in the first quarter of 2022, he explained.
The opening of Nuaija Intersection is the second achievement of the D-Ring Road development project after the opening of LuLu Intersection. The project also includes the development of Fereej Al-Ali Interchange (Al-Tadamon Interchange). This opening will enhance capacity of all the intersections and reduce traffic congestion in the area especially at highly congested Fereej Al-Ali Interchange (Al-Tadamon Interchange).
The improvement works within the project also include developing rainwater drainage networks to raise the efficiency of drainage in the area by constructing a stormwater drainage tunnel with a total length of about 3.5km.
The project also includes construction of a 4.5km common path for pedestrians and cyclists on both sides of D-Ring Road. These are in addition to tree-plantation and landscaping works throughout the project.
Special attention is paid to maintain the Qatari heritage of the project area known as Rawdat Al Khail in designing the beautification elements of the tunnel under construction. It is planned to have murals inside the tunnel.
